From studying the multisector ripple effects of extreme events to exploring the chemical reactions that underlie life on Earth, two up-and-coming PNNL scientists were recognized for their scientific vision and prowess.

Five PNNL innovations earned 2026 R&D 100 Awards for advances in biotechnology, manufacturing, critical minerals, and nuclear security.

At the summit, PNNL engaged with partners and investors, highlighting seven projects that accelerate the deployment of new energy technologies.

David Wunschel, a chemist and Laboratory Fellow, participated on a panel focused on how emerging technologies are transforming CBRN defense, detection, and response across military and government operations.

Secretary Wright visited PNNL's campus in Richland, Washington, late last year to meet with innovators in chemistry, biology, computing, and more.

Now, anyone can easily explore and access data from a nationwide map of data centers, the infrastructure that powers them, and projections of future data center locations.

Distributed science is thriving at PNNL, where scientists share data and collaborate with researchers around the world to increase the impact of the work.

A closed-loop workflow brings together digital and physical frameworks to advance high-throughput experimentation on redox-active molecules in flow batteries.

Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

More than 25,000 participants from industry, government, academia, and the public attended the event.

A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

PNNL Ocean Engineer James McVey collaborates with U.S. company Noria Energy on floating solar technologies through DOE voucher program.

The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.

Earth Scientist Laura Fierce mentors Department of Energy Science Graduate Student Research program awardees.

PNNL signs memorandum of understanding with Oregon State University to support marine science and technology advancements.

Variations in the level of market globalization can greatly affect the amount of water required to meet future global demand for agricultural commodities.
